Summary
The new Supergirl movie starring Milly Alcock is hitting theaters this week, sparking nostalgia—and dread—after the 1984 version flopped hard. That film earned just $14 million and a brutal 19% on Rotten Tomatoes. But it’s not just Supergirl’s turn at the box office disaster spotlight—this episode dives into some of Hollywood’s biggest flops, like Cats ($71M loss), Dark Phoenix ($133M), Gigli ($72M), and Battleship ($150M). Even A-list stars and massive budgets can’t save a film when audiences just… don’t show up. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
